» Bonita Springs Makes a Beautiful Vacation Destination
By Caitlin Moore | Published 11/27/2007 | Bonita Springs | Unrated
A mastery of the Spanish language isn’t necessary to understand that a place called Bonita Springs is bound to be pretty easy on the eyes. This destination is located on the coast of Southwest Florida amongst several other hotspots like Naples and Fort Myers, but it deserves a special look due to its rapid recent growth, abundance of activities, and rich coastal beauty. Bonita Springs is a little bit traditional, a little bit modern and definitely worth more than a passing glance.
